Please answer the following questions about the impact that a minimum wage increase to $15 by 2020 might have on your organization (Council Bill 12-16).
Nonprofit Montgomery has not taken a stand on the minimum wage increase, but after consultation with our advocacy committee, members, and similar sector advocacy groups across the country, during public hearing in the spring, we shared broad sector perspectives about funding challenges related to wage increases, especially for organizations reliant on county, state and federal funding, with the County Council.
These perspectives included practices from other jurisdictions with minimum wage increases. For example, a wage increase should be passed with a commitment to renegotiate contracts when costs of delivering services rise. And, in the interim between the wage increases and contract renegotiation, to create a county-funded mitigation fund to help organizations make up the difference.
The results of this survey will help to inform Nonprofit Montgomery’s next steps as the council deliberates this bill. Please fill it out by November 30.
Nonprofit Montgomery will be offering the financial leadership training FIRM and our new program evaluation training MORE: Metrics, Outcomes, and Responsible Evaluation this coming spring.
FIRM: March 13 & 14, 2017
MORE: April 27 & 28, 2017
Registration will begin next month. Questions? Contact Lesley.
